Vlad,
Wigginhall's lost it!
No, he just parodied AB’s position is all. AB’s
modus operandi is the same as yours: he misrepresents the arguments against him, and then having created an imaginary explanatory gap he just inserts a superstitious belief he happens to have with no a supporting argument for it of any kind.
Oddly too one of his various mistakes is to assert that consciousness cannot be an emergent property because it’s not “fully defined” (even though lots of explanatory models are used for other phenomena that aren’t full defined – gravity for example), but then posits in the alternative a conjecture (“soul”)
for which he has no definition of any kind. When this is pointed out to him though he just ignores the problem – something else he and you have in common.
Oh well. So long as he’s not free to peddle his guff to those who lack the critical faculties to see through it, I guess we should just write him off as uneducable come what may.
